Bluedot Festival has announced the second wave of acts performing at this year’s event at Jodrell Bank.

Electronic art-pop duo Goldfrapp join the bill along with legendary space-rock survivors Hawkwind.

French electronic maestro Vitalic will also be bringing his genre-busting blend of techno, electro, house and disco to the line-up.

Elsewhere on the bill are Space Afrika, Will Tramp and Dream Wife.

The newly announced acts join previously-revealed headliners Orbital, Pixies and alt-J at the event, which takes over the Macclesfield observatory from July 7 to 9.

Stay tuned for more intergalactic announcements as we continue to put together a very unique weekend of music, science, arts, technology and the exploration of space in partnership with the renowned Jodrell Bank Observatory.”
